SOS Marine: lifejackets and equipment to recover people overboard
SOS Marine manufactures flotation, survival and rescue products for boats. Its range includes lifejackets, life rafts, man-overboard markers, recovery ladders and Sea Scoopa equipment for helping bring a person back aboard.
Think about how someone gets back on deck
A yacht's side can be a difficult barrier for a person in the water. Reaching them with the boat does not complete the task, particularly if they are tired or the crew has limited help available.
We like SOS Marine's attention to recovery itself. Products such as ladders and Sea Scoopa address that physical job, while the SOS Dan Buoy marker and flotation equipment serve other parts of the response. The different purposes are easy to understand and useful to consider separately.
An Australian manufacturing business
SOS Marine manufactures in Botany, Sydney, and supplies leisure, professional and defence users. Its product focus is safety on the water, with equipment intended for people facing difficult circumstances afloat.
That specialism is one reason we feature it. Owners can explore the range in relation to the yacht's layout and their crew, looking at how equipment would be carried, reached and used aboard their particular vessel.
Why we feature SOS Marine
Looking after a yacht includes looking after the people who sail it. We think rescue equipment deserves the same attention owners give to the boat's working components.
SOS Marine makes that preparation concrete. Its products have distinct jobs, from supporting someone in the water to assisting recovery. We appreciate a range that includes the hard last stage of the rescue, helping owners consider more than simply getting the boat alongside.
